Tina and Taeko watched Aoi stumble past, with her arms outstretched and her eyes closed. "What's wrong with her?" Tina asked.

"She heard an old wives' tale, that an image of the last thing a person sees remains in their eyes, even after they die," Taeko said. "She hasn't opened her eyes since she watched Kaoru leave, earlier this morning. It's awfully romantic, if a bit strange."

Aoi suddenly walked into a wall full-on, and whacked her head against it with a dull thud.

"If she ain't careful," Tina said, "she'll find out whether that tale is true real soon."
